What's New? Monthly Q&A and Articles

Now that I am settled in here in Florida, I would like to resume both my monthly newsletter articles and Q&A. Unfortunately, at this time, I will not be able to support my answers with video, as seen on my blog. Instead, I will include in my monthly newsletter the question followed by my answer for all of you. So, please send in your questions and I will do my best to answer them!

Let's begin with a Q&A. Here's a great question from one of my students in New England.

Question

Hi Caroline,

I ordered that MetLab Quick Stop to use on Mac and it's looking pretty severe. Then, it doesn't have a place to connect to a headstall and  I called them and they said it did ...but it doesn't have the loops on the nose piece to attach. On the packaging it says Level 4, Moderate to Strong Effect, Quick Stop Stainless Steel w/Rope Nose. It says it puts a lot of pressure on the horse's mouth. I can't imagine putting this in a horse's mouth. Is this what you recommended? Here is the link you sent me...

Monthly Article
Lunging with A Purpose - 3 Core Elements of Mastery; 3 "R's:" Relaxation, Responsiveness and Rhythm, Part I


My Lunging with a Purpose DVD: Developing Connection, Collection and Self Carriage Naturally is not only innovative, it is ground breaking! Its ground breaking on two accounts: 1) This work cuts the time and confusion of learning and applying Classical Dressage’s foundational schooling for young horses (horses in training for advanced maneuvers) down to a year or less! And 2) This work helps bring balance and well-being to both horses and humans - on so many intuitive levels!

In this issue, I will begin talking about the principles of the work first, inter-laced of course with my intuitive and energetic practices for creating such intense and fulfilling connection with your horse.

Through my years as both a student of the horse and student of dressage, I have taken what is a very complex and intensive training program and broken it down to core elements and exercises that will not only shape you and your horse in less than a year, it works for any horse regardless of its breed, age and experience. We all know that any horse can perform classical dressage movements naturally. We see it all the time when they are feeling frisky, joyous and/or rambunctious.

This natural ability to collect is visible in every horse of any breed, and most likely is what inspired early trainers to reproduce that kind of behavior in more controlled circumstances. This origin also points out why, according to most Classical dressage trainers, every healthy horse, regardless of its breed can perform classical dressage movements, including the Haute Ecole jumps, or Airs above the ground, even though it may perform them a little differently from the ideal performance due to the build of its body.

3 NEW DVD's coming soon!!!
Many of you have asked me to explain in more detail, depth, my work with horses and energy (chakras) - energy that radiates out from one's body and the emotional and mental energy that emanates within through the power of intention. For those of you that are students, you've experienced me practicing with you the essence, elements, of this work. And, while it can be conceptually found within my DVD collection, series, it is deep and has yet to be further explained and broken down. I am now going to be offering 3 new DVD's that will address so much of what is explained and practiced both within my clinics and my lessons!
